Not What I Expected

This review is from: Follow Me...To The Beach (Paperback)
I bought this book for my husband, a Jeep Wrangler enthusiast, to read to our soon-to-be-born son. He cried when he opened it on Christmas, but I was the one crying -- and not out of happiness -- when it arrived. I couldn't believe how flimsy it was for the price. My sadness intensified when I flipped through the book and noticed the typos and grammatical errors. I can't believe it got published, frankly -- the authors should have hired a proofreader. The only reasons it's getting any stars at all are the excellent illustration work and the subject matter.

Dear Readers,I hope you buy this book because you will really love this one! It has action, amazement and it is very interesting.

You have to love Cam Jansen. When you're a kid, you read all of these stories about magic powers, mystery, and adventure. But everyone tells you magic can't exist. Cam Jansen manages to solve every case without the use of magic... she's a real girl. That's what makes her special and what makes you want to red more and more. Cam Jansen is a real kid superhero, and the thought that a person like her could actually exist... makes her the best kid detective ever! Our family loves Cam Jansen!

Tj Jensen Paradise Lake Mystery 3

First of all, I've read almost all of the author's previous books, and I've generally enjoyed them. That being said, I couldn't bring myself to fully enjoy this story and give the book four stars. It's not a bad book, but it somehow manages to contain all my personal pet peeves. Everybody seems to have them - those small inconsequential things that nonetheless drive you up the wall every time you read them. Well, this book is a good representation of my personal pet peeves. So, please take note that my reaction to some parts of the book might be somewhat out of proportion and take the rating with a grain of salt.What I liked:The characters are likable and easy to relate to. The setting is beautiful and well-described. The mystery is interesting and keeps you guessing. I had great fun trying to figure out who the killer is. At one point, it even had me guessing about the identity of the victim, so that was an added bonus. There's also a nice bit humor.What... 3/5 Eva - See all my reviews

Another great cozy by Kathi Daley

0 5/5 Joyce A. - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bikinis in Paradise (Tj Jensen Paradise Lake Mystery) (Volume 3) (Paperback)
I just finished reading the third book in Kathi's Paradise Lake series and loved it as much as the first two. Her new tag line is come for the mystery stay for the romance. I come for her mysteries because I have yet to totally figure one out, this book had not only a murder but a missing person's mystery. I stay not just for the romance, but because she has three generations of characters in this book who all have interesting backstories and struggle with the same problems all of us in the real world do. The heroine Tj juggles a full time teaching/coaching job, legal guardian of two young step sisters, helping to run her dad's resort, two possible suitors, two best friends, trying to stay athletic. She balances all these with humor and intelligence. You can read this volume alone, but I highly recommend you read the first two stories. You will wish this was a place you could actually visit in person.

Walt Disney's Classic Storybook (Storybook Collection)

A fun collection of beloved tales

0 4/5 Z Hayes (TX, USA) - See all my reviews, December 29, 2009

"Beautiful, Vintage Artwork, but not exactly what I expected"

This is a collection of Classic Disney Big and Little Golden Books from the 1950's-1960's; featuring the vintage artwork I recalled from my childhood. This edition features big, gilded pages. I discovered, upon delivery, that about every third or fourth page was stuck together. I went through the entire book "unsticking" the pages. This was time-consuming and annoying, but the book seems fine now. I remember a Big Golden Book of "Walt Disney's Mary Poppins" from the late 1960's or very early 1970's that, basically, told the entire story of Disney's movie version. I thought that was the edition that would be reproduced here. I was disappointed to find that what is called "Mary Poppins" here is just a brief, very poorly drawn, episode involving Uncle Albert's hysterical laughing fits and the tea party on the ceiling. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about how magical Mary flies into the Banks household, her Jolly Holiday with Bert and the children, how she helps the household become... 3/5 DEWEY M.

I bought this for my friends baby shower. She asked that everyone bring a book to start a collection for her daughter. This was by far her favorite. The stories are not the full, detailed versions, but still very colorful and well written.

Thimbleberries Autumn Accents (Thimbleberries Classic Country)

Book (Landauer Corporation)

Rating (5 reviews):

(4.0/5)

Puts You in a Harvest Mood

From the honey-gold cover with a picture of floating apple candles set amongst pumpkins and fallen leaves, to the carmel tone-on-tone jacket borders and pages, this book is a feast for the eyes. There are none of Lynette's usual quilting projects or instructions, just photograph after luscious photograph of terrific fall decorating and entertaining ideas.The book consists of only three chapters entitled "September Morning", "October Gold" and "November Dusk", aptly named for the beginning, middle and end of the season. Of the many ideas presented, I enjoyed seeing how Lynette uses collectibles to make a personal statement, as well as how to use dried hydrangea and yarrow for beautiful floral accents, and edibles in your decorating scheme. The ideas for tablescapes were also inspiring, as well as my favorite - the big, stuffed swag Lynette uses to decorate her mantel. I intend to make one just like this for my own fireplace.AUTUMN ACCENTS is... 5/5 C. Cunningham "Cris Cunningham" (Long Island NY, United States) - See all my reviews, October 30, 2002

This review is from: Thimbleberries Autumn Accents (Thimbleberries Classic Country) (Hardcover)
I have had this book for many years. Every September 1st I take it off of the book shelf and read it from cover to cover. It is a true inspiration for this wonderful season of the year. Do not be deceived, this is not a quilting instruction book. It is coffee table book full if fall decorating ideas that are timeless. If you love fall gardening complete with pumpkins and dried flowers along with quilts and other fall home decorating ideas, this is the book for you. So make a pot of tea, curl up in your favorite chair, and enjoy a walk though Lynette Jensen's interpretation of her favorite season, Fall.

A neat photograph taken in Jensen Beach, Florida. Visible immediatly is the ocean, sky, beach, boardwalk, steps, and green covered sand dunes. Off in the distance in the sky is a rainbow! Text done in white script reading "Jensen Beach, Florida" is across the bottom in this version. Great beach image for any nature fans!
